NWR028 COFFIN TEXTS (USA) - 'Gods of Creation, Death & Afterlife' LP
We are proud to announce that we will release the vinyl version of this MASSIVE Death Metal album! Expect the perfect mix between Morbid Angel, Sadistic Intent, Nile, Diabolic, Bolt Thrower - and I'm talking about carrying the same spirit as the demos of the mentioned bands yet moulded into something totally Uncanny and Dark...

Formed in 1997, this Los Angeles based band has been desecrating the scene for more than a decade. Having toured with bands like INCANTATION, INFAMY, ANGELCORPSE, SKINLESS, and CEPHALIC CARNAGE, and shared members with legendary acts like SADISTIC INTENT, INFAMY, and DIABOLIC, Coffin Texts has proven their right to be heralded among the elite archangels of death metal. These affiliations notwithstanding, COFFIN TEXTS has also been one of the most overlooked bands in Death Metal. This fact is mostly attributable to their short (yet nonetheless important) discographic history. Their only album, the masterful 'Gods of Creation, Death & Afterlife' - originally released by Dwell Records on CD in 2000 - finally sees the light of day on vinyl format with much deserved new artwork and design. This album features 6 tracks of devastating Death Metal darkness shrouded in esoteric references to Egyptian mythology. (The cover songs featured in the CD version have been discarded in favour of preserving the consistency and sonic purity of the LP.) Solid musicianship and crushing production easily places the band on par with monumental and well-established bands as MORBID ANGEL, IMMOLATION, BOLT THROWER, and CARNAGE, and yet the recording still oozes the deathly aura and thirst of a 'demo band'.
